Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I’m pretty pleased, I’m very pleased with the opening remarks of Mr. Speaker and the initiatives of the Legislative Assembly. I’m glad that they are talking the talk and walking the walk in terms of dropping the pop. Some of the carbon neutral initiatives I will be very happy and proud once they’re installed to display that to other Assemblies, I’m sure. It sounds like there’s a huge regional parliamentary event this coming fall and maybe it will be in place by then to be a shining example of our parliamentary consensus style to show others about how quickly Assemblies can act and move forward with the initiatives that are now driving the global agenda.

It is a local agenda as well, Mr. Chair. So I am very supportive of those efforts. At the same time, I’d like to commend Mr. Speaker for mentioning my chairmanship for Standing Committee on Government Operations, but I would be remiss without mentioning my fellow colleagues that share the duties with me that did do the hard work on the languages report: Mr. Robert Hawkins, deputy chair, committee member Mr. Glen Abernethy, Mr. Jackie Jacobson, as well as you, Mr. Chair, Mr. David Krutko. Thank you very much. That concludes my statements. Mahsi.
